Donald Trump announces ceasefire between Israel and Iran
- Published
US President Donald Trump says that a ceasefire has come into place between Israel and Iran.
A ceasefire is a deal where opposing sides formally agree to both pause attacks and stop fighting.
Even though it does not necessarily mean an agreement to totally end the war, it does give an opportunity for peace talks to take place.
It's hoped that this could then bring about a longer-term agreement between the countries.
